List Making Tuesday...survey's up!

So...just because I feel like it. Well, that and because I like all you bloggies to know where I am coming from when I blog. I totally stole this...but changed a few because I have answered them before! :)

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yeah. I was named after my God Mother who is a cousin of my mom's. But I have recently decided that wasn't glamorous enough for me and have changed my story so that I am actually named after a famous author. We even have a sister with the same name!

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Like really cried? I don't even remember. Wow. It's been several months since I have been able to say that I don't remember when I cried last. That must be progress, right?

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Yes, I do. Except when it looks exactly like my little sister's. Then I hate it! I have never looked it up but I am entirely convinced that handwriting styles are hereditary!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Ewwww! I hate lunch meat, but if I have to eat it it had better be ham from the deli...and you better put that on a roll and not just bread. Hell, you better just let me do it!

DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Um...yeah. I think that you would know by now that I have two of them. Wonderful little buggers they are. Most of the time. :)

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Actually, yes. I am kind of a ticking time bomb and you never know what kind of stupid shit I will get into next. So yeah, I would be friends with me just so that whatever life I was leading would seem normal!

DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Yeah. Never.

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes, yes, I do. Unless of course you want them? Which you probably should decide against because right now they are swollen from all the teeth shit I have going on.

WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Probably not. I think I would be too scared of pissing my pants on the way down...you know since the ground would be coming at me at a much faster pace than that stupid truck at the Haunted House.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? I don't like cereal. I guess I like hot oatmeal and plain granola...but don't you ever put milk on it 'cuz ewww...that's just naaaastyyyy!

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Nope. I just slip them off and then untie them when I go to put them on. But really, I hate shoes. I do. I hate shopping for them and thing that every single pair I try on is ridiculously ugly. You should never, ever take me shoe shopping. Unless, of course, you are a glutton for punishment.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Physically, I am as weak as they come. I can't run for half a block, I can't lift any type of weight (unless you are talking kids, in which case, I can carry my 8 year old up the stairs and to his room with much ease--nothing is sweeter than a dead asleep child). Mentally and emotionally, I am as strong as they come. Lay it on me because I can take it.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Their eyes, actually. I can tell a lot about a person by looking into their eyes. After I size you up that way, I will make you smile. I am extremely obsessed with smiling, so I demand that you do it too.

RED OR PINK? Pink...although I didn't used to be that way. I went through a phase where I would yell at you if you called me a lady (I preferred being referred to as a bitch) and hated everything pink. And then I had a daughter and my love of pink resurfaced...especially if it is paired with brown.

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? Right now...I am lazy and I procrastinate way too much.

WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? Hmm. Well, I am missing my best friend, Josie horrifically today. I just want to sit down and hang out and talk with her for a bit. just so that we can get on the same wavelenght again and I can make sure she's all right and then she can go back toher work in Iraq.

WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Brown boot-looking shoes...just like always! And they are super comfy!

WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Right this very moment I am chomping on some Sun Chips, the Harvest Cheddar kind and they are way yummy in my tummy!

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? The sounds of me chomping on these chips and my boss talking on the phone. Maybe I should put on some music, huh? This place is boring for sounds!

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW ? I just started "Eragon" but can't seem to get into it. Because of the season, I am about ready to start some Christmas-y popcorn books (you know, the kind you can read in one sitting and just be able to enjoy the momentary release from your everyday life)

FAVORITE SOUND. I totally love the sound of rain when it falls on the skylight above my head...until I have to walk outside in it!

WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? Florida, probably at the beginning of this year. But ask me again this time next year and the answer will be Germany, Lichtenstein, Italy and France!

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? Wouldn't you like to know? Nah, really I guess I do. I can play a doumbek drum which is pretty special, I suppose and I have four years of experience as a performing belly dancer. How's that for special?

WACKIEST THING YOU HAVE DONE LATELY? I signed my name in a black Sharpie marker on my husband. That wacky enough for you? :) It was fun. :)
